1933012304Viking Press 1933. 1st Edition. Hardcover. Near Fine. First US edition fifth printing after the first 1931. Near fine copy lacking dustjacket. Plainly signed in purple ink by Zweig. Tragic novella which tells the grim tale of mutual doom of Dutch doctor in colonial Malaysia and a colonial government official's wife for whom he refuses to perform an abortion. A most curious and unsettling contemplation not so much about morality but more the fatality of obsessive ego. The title as in "run amuck" derives from the Javanese expression for bizarrely manic obsessive behavior and it was in fact Zweig's book that made the saying part of the vernacular language. Signatures of Austrian author Zweig who in the 1920s-40s was the most translated author in the world are rather uncommon. Viking Press hardcover books
